XXXI. A Man.


FATE slew him, but he did not drop;
        She felled -- he did not fall --
Impaled him on her fiercest stakes --
        He neutralized them all.

She stung him, sapped his firm advance,
        But, when her worst was done,
And he, unmoved, regarded her,
        Acknowledged him a man.
